Guidance on creating a manual

Hello,
New to the forum not quite sure how to post a new question maybe you can help. This has been approved by out external auditor. We are a small company but we are broken into two parts. I have been told that both companies can be combined into one manual. Still a little confused on what this would like I would like to get this right the first time. I am having no luck at all finding and example. Any suggestions

Events seem to indicate that you managed to post your first question, so that is one obstacle overcome... Ok, over to your question:

Agreed, there is no reason not to combine both parts of the company in the same description. I just wonder if maybe you were audited acc. to ISO 9001:2008, as ISO 9001:2015 does not require a manual per se as previous versions of the standard did? At any rate, nothing in the new version of the standard prevents you from having a document called a manual, so no worries there. As for examples of the setup you mention, I am afraid I have none at hand, but if you regard the two parts as one and describe it that way, everything should work out. That would show how the two parts of the company fit together (scope, processes and so on).

If I may add - and hopefully a clarification - a "Quality Manual" for a small company doesn't need any details about much more than information like scope and so on (ISO 9001:2008 tells us) for each organization. As Claes says, ISO 9001:2015 doesn't even require a manual and...a manual based on the clauses of the standard isn't helpful (in many cases). It's pretty common for two organizations to share a QMS with the differences in process/responsibilities/methods either taken care of with notes in the documentation (using different fonts, text colors etc) or even work instructions.
